Alseids

Elves, ur-shard-species
A number of distinct, regional cultures existed, though they spread and blended in many places
- oreads (synnephian ori), dryads (potamia, cypress coast), neriads (thalassa velos isles), esperides (esperines and western dytikos), limnades (eastern Antolikos, Erimia), auloniades (phidion coast, eastern dytikos, epolosia)
- Oread and dryad came to refer to the fury-mutated descendants of those cultures.
- The other terms remain, with Alseid as the blanket term for the species.
Sub-species
- Pligian Alseids (Queensplague)
- Dro-on (Night mutation)
- Naiads (interbred with / shepherded by Chemaros)

Alseid Ferals

lycanthropes continue to occur, but there are also some leftover 1st gen lycans (since fey are ageless), they are super-powerful and thoroughly soaked in the Long Night. "Moon-beasts", some of the legendary monsters of Pelithos (Nemean Lion, etc)
2nd gen lycans mellow enough to form social groups with others of their kind.
3rd gen lycans are ferals, fixed in form, sane in mind. In many places, they are second class citizens in societies ruled by 2nd gen lycans.

As the Aphxanamos grew, the fey of the dryad culture of Potamia was changed by exposure, becoming plant-like. The term dryad came to refer to the species.
Sub-species
- Nightshade Dryads (Night mutation)
- Pligian Dryads (Queensplague)
- Dendric Dryads (drank the Elixir of Sleep)

As the Synnephion grew, the fey of the oread culture of Potamia was changed by exposure, becoming stone-like (marble-statue-like, of various colors), larger / stronger / tougher. The term oread came to refer to the species.
- After the first titanomachia, oreads settled in the kyterian ori and golden waste; through now fairly resistant to fury, they did take on a distinct appearance from its influence, more tawny sandstone and dark basalt and obsidian.
Sub-species
- Pligian Oreads (Queensplague)
- Moonstone Oreads (Night mutation)
- Lithic Oreads (drank the Elixir of Sleep)
